Feasting On Cherries Before A Storm

Last night I went to see Snow White And The Huntsman. I love films that are visually appealling. It's like being in the woods, then discovering a birds nest with the brighest blue eggs.
Colours, costumes, angles, all inspired. Fragments of ideas have journeyed into rooms of my mind. Doors have closed for now but will be opened when required. I have also fell in love with this song from the soundtrack ....
Haunting and beautiful.

We have experienced wild and windy weather. No flaming June resides here. I watched our apple trees nervously hoping their old bone branches and trunks would stand strong in the high winds. They did.
One of next doors trees wasn't so lucky. It split down the middle and fell. Now the jackdaws sit upon it and gaze across the fields their view changed.

Before the storm the sun shone and tiny roses perfumed the path.

We feasted on cherries under the big tree.

I danced at our village Jubilee ceilidh and my husband won a teapot in the raffle.

My painting Moonraker's will be part of this exhibition next weekend. If you are in the area, (Corsham, Wiltshire) do pay a visit and pop in and say hello. It's part of the Corsham fringe festival and on the Saturday there will be other things going on in the town, including street performers, and a food festival. Well worth a visit.

Hello Karen,I am hoping you have braved the storms recently...I don,t want to appear rather odd but I absolutley love your blog and kind of get thrilled when you have posted!Thanks for inspiring me to get Hubbie to take me to see: Snow white and the Huntman....(looks my cup of tea too) Wishing you a peaceful week filled with inspiration and love!Mariax

Hello Karen,I like your blog soooo much - your posts and the music. It inspires me. And because of you I started drawing again - which I haven't done for many years. And like you I'm very happy to live in a magical landscape. I only can say 'thank you', Carola

A shame about you neighbours tree, I've lost a large branch out of my hawthorn which is sad as it's a beautiful old tree. I've seen one or two trailers for the Snow White film on TV and can't decide whether I want to see it or not:)

I love that painting of yours, the Moonrakers. It'll be a fantastic exhibition!I want to see the film you mentioned too and hope to catch it while it's still in the cinema. Looks just like the kind os escapism I need. :)Jess xx

Karen,I love your descriptive words describing how you felt about the beautiful images in the movie.You make a good case for seeing the movie as well. The song is very lovely, from the soundtrack, certainly.You might be interested to know that here in Canada we are also having a very cool June. :)As usual I just enjoyed my visit here so much!!Thanks,Brenda

I'm so sorry I missed you Bella! I was told someone had been looking for me. I kept popping out to hand out leaflets etc. We may have even passed on the stairs like you say? I'm glad you enjoyed your time and thanks so much for coming. xx
